Indians Sign Jeff Weaver

The Brewers have traded 3B Taylor Green, who was named their Minor League Player of the Year after hitting .327, 14 HR, last season, to the Indians as part of the Sabathia trade. ESPN reported LaPorta and Bryson to be part of the trade, and now we know one more player involved.

The Brewers have a chance to start something a lot bigger than a tiny giant rent-a-player.

Ken Rosenthal reports that the Dodgers are interested in dealing for Sabathia and Wilson. First, let's deal with the Sabathia rumor. "The Brewers aren't the only team pushing hard for Indians left-hander C.C. Sabathia. The Dodgers also are heavily in the mix, according to major-league sources. Sabathia, 6-5 with a 2.16 ERA in his past 14 starts, is scheduled...

CC Sabathia must fall asleep with a smile on his face because every day he wakes up and another team has declared an interest in acquiring him. The latest to enter the Sabathia sweepstakes is the Phillies. They've also expressed an interest in Mariners lefthander Erik Bedard, who is 5-4 with a 3.79 ERA. The Phillies have some young talent they would part with for a quality starter.

C.C. Sabathia to the Milwaukee Brewers is picking up.

The Cleveland Indians will designate Rick Bauer and some news on CC Sabathia.

The complete rundown on the Cleveland Indians trade with the Milwaukee Brewers and C.C. Sabathia.

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel is reporting that the Brewers have made an offer for CC Sabathia that includes their number one prospect, Class AA outfielder Matt Laporta. There's no report on who else is in the package. With so many other teams like the Yankees, Cubs, Phillies and Dodgers openly interested, why would GM Mark Shapiro make a deal now?

The Rays currently have the best record in baseball. The pitching is doing their job and the hitting is coming through at the right times. Maybe it is the year for the Tampa Bay Rays, they certainly have been patient enough. Rumors are spreading across the country that the Rays may break their status quo and make a trade for a big name player. CC Sabathia's name has come as one possible...

The Cleveland Indians have agreed in principle to send reigning Cy Young award winner C.C. Sabathia to the Milwaukee Brewers for top prospect Matt LaPorta, pitcher Rob Bryson, pitcher Zach Jackson, and a player to be named later. The teams have agreed verbally, with the deal being contingent on paperwork and a physical. The Brewers reportedly wanted to get Sabathia two starts...

Wyatt Toregas has another career night for Akron and the lowdown on soon to be Cleveland Indians prospect Matt LaPorta.

Just got done watching Mark Shapiro's press conference on ESPN. Here, in a nutshell, is what he said. The strongest point he tried to make (perhaps looking at some of the backlash already) is that the trade offers he got now were likely better than what he could have anticipated as the trading deadline approached. That seems counterintuititive (a fancy word for BS),...

Prince Fielder now has an eating partner after the Brewers spun a deal yesterday for pitcher C.C. Sabathia. The 6'7" 290 pound hurler will form a 1-2 combination with ace Ben Sheets at the top of the rotation in an attempt to get Milwaukee into the playoffs for the first time since 1982. Sabathia is 6-8 with a 3.83 ERA this season but has rebounded from an awful start...

Let me start by saying I understand perfectly well that the Tribe had to trade CC Sabathia. The season was over almost before it started, though most of us didn't realize it until two or three weeks ago. So, with the Tribe unable to get his double-C on a dotted line, the big man had to go. Even though there was plenty of advanced notice, just the concept of CC in someone...

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel is reporting online within the last hour that a deal for CC Sabathia is so close to being done that prospect Matt Laporta has been scratched from tonight's lineup, to avoid injury on the verge on this deal. Two other minor league prospects are included in the deal. The paper is reporting that Sabathia has already been penciled in for Tuesday'...
